DIY Hanging Mirrors | IHOD

Each month I have tried to work on a different corner of our house. It takes me ages to decide on decor items. I have had my eye on circular hanging mirrors for about a year now, but wasn’t willing to pay the price. This is a cost effective solution and a fun gift idea as well! These are now hanging in our main bathroom:)

Supplies:

Rope Cord
Circular Mirrors (Found mine at Hobby Lobby)
Hot glue
Fabric or felt patches

Instructions:

1) Measure out your cord for the length you want to hang. Place the end on the circle tab on the back of the mirror and drown in hot glue. Cover with a fabric or felt piece. Repeat on the other end.

2) Start to hot glue a second strand of rope cord around the back edge of the mirror. (Hot glue will not stick to mirror glass, but it will the back. After you have made it around the back once, continue to loop and glue a second round attaching the rope to the first layer of rope.

3) Once you have completed a full two or three loops around the mirror, but your rope and glue behind torwards the back.

Love this, Anna, they look like they could be straight out of Resoration Hardware… but, you know, without the ridiculous price tag!

The area required for solar power greinateon for the whole country would be quite large. You would then need to transport the electricity from the generator to the users. Solar power works well locally but it is not efficient if you have to take the electricity hundreds of kilometres. You would also need huge banks of batteries because, as Gerald Ford put it so well, solar power is not something that can come in overnight.A better use of solar power would be to install solar heating and solar panels on houses to cut the cost of electricity to households and to ease the demand for electricity from conventional power stations.
